Philadelphia's Brett Myers, right, and Carlos Ruiz, top, celebrate with teammate Ryan Howard, bottom, and Chase Utley after scoring on a RBI single by Shane Victorino (not pictured) against the Dodgers on Friday.

Jimmy Rollins bounced a single up the middle and Myers chugged toward third. Kemp misplayed the ball in center field or he could’ve thrown Myers out to end the inning. Rollins hustled into second on the play.

Victorino followed with a two-run single to left-center to make it 4-1. The Flyin’ Hawaiian slapped his hands after rounding first and the fans went wild.

Victorino made a leaping catch of Casey Blake’s drive at the center-field fence to end the seventh.

“He hit it well,” Victorino said. “I just told myself, try to get back.”

Loney’s two-out RBI single to center cut it to 4-2 in the third. The Dodgers loaded the bases when Kemp reached on third baseman Dobbs’ fielding error, but Myers escaped the jam by striking out Blake DeWitt on a slow curve.

Pumped up by his pitching, Myers came through at the plate again. The Phillies loaded the bases with no outs. After Ruiz’s grounder forced Burrell at home, Myers slapped a liner past first baseman Loney down the right-field line to give the Phillies a 6-2 lead.

Chan Ho Park came in and struck out Rollins, but Victorino tripled to right-center to make it 8-2. Los Angeles used two more pitchers to get out of the inning.

Before he rattled Billingsley, Myers unnerved some of the Dodgers’ hitters. He threw some high-and-tight fastballs in the first inning and the one really wild pitch that sailed behind Ramirez.

Myers knocked down Russell Martin with a fastball right before he struck out on a slow curve. That brought up Ramirez with two outs and nobody on.

Myers’ first pitch was in and the next one, a 94 mph fastball, was several feet behind the Ramirez. Never shy to tell a pitcher he doesn’t appreciate getting brushed back, Ramirez didn’t say a word and ended up striking out on a 3-2 slider.

As he walked to the dugout, Myers had some words with Dodgers first-base coach Mariano Duncan.

“He said, ’You’re going to get somebody hurt out here,”’ Myers said. “The ball slipped out of my hand. I don’t want to hurt their best player.”

Notes: Hall of Fame pitcher Sandy Koufax sat one row in front of Hall of Fame manager Tommy Lasorda behind the Dodgers dugout. Lasorda got a nice ovation when he walked up the steps during the fourth inning. ... Ramirez struck out and popped out his first two at-bats and was 3-for-21 off Myers before he connected.
